CSci 5525 Machine Learning—Final Project Report Online Email Spam Prediction
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this project, we study and experiment with a category of classification algorithms that are practically effective in email spam filtering—online prediction. We devise layered algorithms that can potentially control the spam misclassification rate. We compare the results of using different feature vectors as input. Also, we present observations that some online algorithms are insensitive to the order the samples are processed—misclassification rate can be probabilistically bounded irrelevant to incoming email order.

Advances in Online Learning-based Spam Filtering
The low cost of digital communication has given rise to the problem of email spam, which is unwanted, harmful, or abusive electronic content. In this thesis, we present several advances in the application of online machine learning methods for automatically filtering spam. We detail a sliding-window variant of Support Vector Machines that yields state of the art results for the standard online ...
متن کاملSMS Spam Detection using Machine Learning Approach
Over recent years, as the popularity of mobile phone devices has increased, Short Message Service (SMS) has grown into a multi-billion dollars industry. At the same time, reduction in the cost of messaging services has resulted in growth in unsolicited commercial advertisements (spams) being sent to mobile phones. In parts of Asia, up to 30% of text messages were spam in 2012. Lack of real data...
متن کاملStatic prediction games for adversarial learning problems
The standard assumption of identically distributed training and test data is violated when the test data are generated in response to the presence of a predictive model. This becomes apparent, for example, in the context of email spam filtering. Here, email service providers employ spam filters and spam senders engineer campaign templates such as to achieve a high rate of successful deliveries ...
متن کاملSpam Filtering Using Statistical Data Compression Models
Spam filtering poses a special problem in text categorization, of which the defining characteristic is that filters face an active adversary, which constantly attempts to evade filtering. Since spam evolves continuously and most practical applications are based on online user feedback, the task calls for fast, incremental and robust learning algorithms. In this paper, we investigate a novel app...
متن کاملA Classification Method for E-mail Spam Using a Hybrid Approach for Feature Selection Optimization
Spam is an unwanted email that is harmful to communications around the world. Spam leads to a growing problem in a personal email, so it would be essential to detect it. Machine learning is very useful to solve this problem as it shows good results in order to learn all the requisite patterns for classification due to its adaptive existence. Nonetheless, in spam detection, there are a large num...
